Rhoda Meyer Portier

August 2, 1955 - October 21, 2018

Our beloved Rhoda Meyer Portier passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by loved ones, on Sunday, October 21, 2018. She was 63 years young, a native NOLA girl for 61 years, and a happily retired resident of Carencro, Louisiana. As many know, she is attributed with coining the terms “lawdy bee” and “holy moly”. She enjoyed cooking dinners for her family, listening to her favorite records, and dancing like no one was watching. She will forever be remembered for her infectious smile, heart of gold, and radiant spirit that lit every room she entered (even though she didn’t believe the impact she had on people). Even in her final days, she made everyone around her laugh, because that’s the kind of person she was. She was and will always remain one of a kind. Survivors include her cherished husband and soulmate, Daryl Joseph Portier; two precious daughters, Leslie Paige Bell and Molly Portier Mikhael; treasured brother, Randall Conrad Meyer; and her beautiful pups, Winston III and Oliver Twist. Rhoda was preceded in death by her father, Walter Conrad Meyer, Jr., and mother, Rosemary Reimmuth Meyer. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the visitation at L.A. Muhleisen & Son Funeral Home (2607 Williams Blvd., Kenner, Louisiana) on Thursday, October 25th from 6 PM to 9 PM and on Friday, October 26th from 11 AM to 1 PM followed by a Funeral Service at 1 PM. Interment in Metairie Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Rusty Meyer, Jonathan Meyer, Justin Sullivan, Saun Sullivan, Denzel Reed, Demarcus Gordon, Anthony Mikhael, and Austin Perez. A sincere thank you to Nursing Specialities Home Health and Hospice and the compassionate doctors and 8th floor caregivers of Lafayette General Medical Center. The family would prefer contributions be made to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) at www.bcrf.org.
